Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress

For instance, she exchanged for almost a few thousand skins, ranging from expensive mink skins to otter rabbit skins that the middle class could also afford. She exchanged a good number for every kind of skin.

Although the people of the Meng Slaves were considered an ignorant and backward ethnic group, their craftsmanship level in making leather was quite high, and they were also good at dyeing. The colors were not only even, but also fade-resistant and they even had a technique for gradual color change, which Cai Wei did not pass up. Whenever she saw skins with gradational color, she would definitely make an effort to exchange them.

Of course, all these skins were not for her own use. The aristocrats of the Great Jin Nation had a habit of decking the collars, cuffs, and hems with fur trims when wearing clothes during winter. Those even more affluent would simply wear coats made entirely of fur. Because of this, there was a large demand for fur in the market of the Great Jin Nation, and Cai Wei was planning to sell these exchanged skins there for a good price.

Not just skins, she also exchanged a lot of cheese and meat. The space had the function of preservation, and any food kept inside it would always remain fresh. Therefore, whenever she saw newly slaughtered cattle and sheep, she would exchange for them generously. The food would temporarily be held by Zhui Feng and Zhu Yue, before being stored in the space once she returned to the big tent.

Within a few days, most of the originally plundered items in the space were gone, all exchanged for things Cai Wei needed.

Approaching late morning, Cai Wei returned to King City with Zhui Feng and Zhu Yue. Zhui Feng wanted to persuade Cai Wei to go back to the big tent for lunch and exchange goods after the meal, but Cai Wei refused.

There were many food stalls on the market, all selling the Meng Slaves’ special delicacies. Cai Wei found a stall selling cooked food and sat down, Zhui Feng and Zhu Yue, abiding by their duties, dared not sit with Cai Wei. So Cai Wei had them sit at the table beside her. She exchanged a piece of pink pattern-woven coverlet for a large chunk of tenderly boiled beef. After cutting it, she divided it into two plates, one for herself and the other for them. She also exchanged for a jin of strong liquor and a few highland barley cakes for them!

Cai Wei had a lot of delicious food in her space. Before coming to Lingbei, she had bought a lot at the market and stored it in the space because she was not used to the greasy food of the Meng Slaves. So, at mealtime, she always pretended to eat a little and then found an opportunity to eat the delicious food from the Great Jin stored in her space.

So after eating a little, Cai Wei put down her chopsticks and strolled near the food stall. She couldn’t travel too far, or else Zhui Feng and Zhu Yue would be unable to eat and would be busy trying to protect her, although she didn’t need their protection. Still, Nangong Yi insisted on this, so every time she went out, she had to bring these two along, otherwise he would not allow her to leave.
